Hi Hans,
But that's exactly what I was talking about, STANDARD PC/XT machines. IBM, to
the best of my knowledge, never released any form of clock card for the PC or
XT.
PC/XT class
machines generally have no clock hardware
in them as standard....
This is only true if you look at the very basic unit.... ....but clock-cards have been popular back than. Either
as single
function card (rather rar) or within a multi function card.
I used to have at least one clock card and several multi-function cards with
built in clocks for use in such machines.
The point is though that even though they were popular, they were generally the
exception rather than the rule....
TTFN - Pete.

Hi,
There's an interesting interview with Heinz Zemanek
at Telepolis (a german net-magazine). The article
is in German, but I guess you all have Babelfish
as hotkey :)

There's also a picture of the Mailüfterl (Bavarian for
a soft brise in may). FYI, the Mailüftern was the worlds
first transistorized computer (Well, personaly I still
go for the SIEMENS 2002, since both came to life with
only a few weeks difference, but while the Mailüfterl
was a single instance machine build at the Vienna Univ,
the 2002 was already a production machine, build in
'large' quantities - BTW: all this happened when Tubes
still ruled the computer bussines and paralell to the
Whirlwind (check the name :))

Babelfish only translate the first half or so of the page for some reason.
I guess you have to buy Babelfish software to get the whole thing?

Jep, thats their intention, but as a work around, you can
download the whole page (check the download button) and
feed it in short pices into their page.
